The facilities were clean and well-maintained, with spacious rooms and convenient amenities like air conditioning and large lockers. I was impressed with the free wireless internet and the fully equipped kitchen where I could prepare my own meals. the hostel's location in the heart of a vibrant neighborhood made it easy for me to explore the city and access the metro, which conveniently connected me to all the major attractions. the secure entrance and 24/7 reception added an extra level of comfort and safety. I had an amazing experience at this hostel and would like to thank Peter and the staff for their exceptional service.
It felt like a home away from home, and I have absolutely no complaints at all.

The location of the hostel is convenient and not too far from the main train station. Checking in process is straightforward, and the staff are welcoming and helpful. The rooms and bathrooms are kept clean, providing a comfortable stay for guests. The hostel offers private bathrooms in each room, which is a plus. The bunk beds are equipped with ladders for easy access, and despite the thin blankets, the rooms are kept at a warm temperature.
The directions to the hostel could be clearer, as some guests had difficulty finding it initially.

We recently stayed at a hostel in Milan and had a fantastic experience. the location was ideal, with easy access to public transportation and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. the room we stayed in was clean and comfortable, with a spacious bathroom just down the hall. the staff was friendly and accommodating, providing excellent service throughout our stay. Plus, the breakfast offered a variety of options to suit everyone's tastes. We also enjoyed the stunning view from the rooftop terrace, which was the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring.
The lack of security measures in place. It would be beneficial for the hostel to implement stricter access control to ensure the safety of guests.

The staff were friendly and helpful, providing useful information about the area and recommendations for places to visit. The room was clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay. It was also great to have a kitchen available, allowing us to prepare our own meals during our Christmas vacation.
There were some negative aspects to our stay. The hostel lacked proper security measures, as there were no keys provided for the rooms, making it easy for anyone to enter unauthorized.
